Bringing It All Back Home: Risk Management Solutions Makes Seismic Shift to the Private CloudNOTE: This piece was originally published November 6, 2014, on the EMC Pulse blog.By: Paris Georgallis, Cloud Platform Operations Senior Vice President at Risk Management Solutions

RMS develops large, complex catastrophe models to help the insurance and financial industries understand risk and prepare for the financial impact of catastrophes. Working with highly detailed models and tons of data in regulated industries, our cloud strategy is crucial.

Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20141124/160523LOGO

Four years ago we began a transitional journey to move our traditional on-premise based software offering to a cloud-based SaaS solution to one of the biggest cloud service providers. It proved to be a great virtual runway for us. We saw some important quick wins in the public cloud--the major decrease in development time being a good example. But it didn't take long before the limitations of the public cloud came to the forefront.

There were the basic economics. Gartner and other analysts agree that there's a point where the cost of subscribing to a cloud service exceeds the cost of an internal private cloud. That definitely was the case for us. The subscription spend quickly surpassed the combined CAPEX and OPEX of in-house operations.

Second was the public cloud's inability to deliver flawless, predictable, peak performance. Trying to handle our write-intensive, heavy compute load without lag, latency or downtime proved to be impossible using shared resources in the public cloud.

The third focused on shared resources. Insurance is a heavily regulated industry, and our customers' auditors demanded a more tightly governed environment than could be provided with a shared service.

Faced with this we began our second transition--with help from Kovarus, a cloud consulting firm --from a public cloud to a private one. Our in-house platform comprised of Cisco UCS as the compute platform, VMware vSphere as the virtualization platform, and four EMC VMAX 40Ks handling all our storage. The VMAX is a powerhouse. During the selection process we tested a range of storage options under full-load conditions, including all-flash arrays. Our write intensive load proved that an all-flash solution was not an option from both an economic and performance perspective. A powerful five nines hybrid array with a substantial cache and automated tiering such as EMC's VMAX, proved to be the best solution for our use case.

Our performance has improved by an order of magnitude and the cost of the environment has been cut 50 percent. That's just dramatic, isn't it? Ten times the performance at half the cost by bringing our cloud in-house. And it's reliable performance. Testing at full load and we haven't experienced any of the interruptions we had with a public cloud. A lot of the credit for that goes to the VMAX--a true "turn it on and forget about it" storage system. Security concerns for our customers have been answered. Now, in keeping with their own internal standards, our customer's auditors can get answers to critical questions like "which rack and which servers house our data", "is there encryption"--which was impossible to audit with any certainty in a service cloud.

I was given the kind of challenge any technologist wants--lead a team in a transition to a new environment, improve performance, cut costs, all in a way that delivers business value to our customers. EMC played a played a major--in many ways an indispensable--role in making that happen.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Dec. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading Korean engineering company Hyundai Engineering (HEC) has reported significant time and cost savings as a result of using Intergraph Smart((TM)) 3D in the delivery of a US$300 million South American oil refinery project.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20081211/DECLOGO

Smart 3D reduced the cost and work hours involved in the production of the project's engineering drawings by 51 percent, as compared to 2D manual methodology, delivering a multimillion U.S. dollar saving for the company.

HEC adopted Smart 3D several years ago and has noted a significant improvement in the quality of engineering outputs. The solution enables drawings to be produced automatically, with no manual production required - therefore reducing the technical errors commonly seen with 2D solutions.

"Smart 3D has been instrumental in reducing project risk and delivering significant time and cost savings," said Myung-su Han, HEC engineering IT team leader. "Furthermore, the high quality of engineering deliverables helped us to avoid reworks and other delays, in turn reducing the overall project schedule."

Gerhard Sallinger, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine president, said, "The South American oil refinery project is further proof that Intergraph's 3D design solutions offer a clear and quantifiable benefit over 2D solutions.

"Smart 3D is a logical step forward for Intergraph customers who are currently enjoying the benefits of our earlier 3D design package PDS((R)), and would like to drive productivity even further."

Smart 3D is the world's first and only next-generation 3D design solution specifically tailored for plant, offshore, shipbuilding, and the metals and mining industries, employing a breakthrough engineering approach that leverages real-time concurrent design, rules, relationships and automation. It is the most advanced and productive 3D design solution that effectively enables optimized design, increasing safety, quality and productivity, while shortening project schedules.

The ARC Advisory Group, a leading industry analyst firm, ranked Intergraph as the No. 1 overall worldwide provider of engineering solutions for plant design (process, power and marine), according to its "Engineering Design Tools for Plants and Infrastructure Worldwide Outlook Market Analysis and Forecast Through 2018."

Cimatron Donates $1.7 Million Software to Iowa Community College for Advanced CAD/CAM TrainingDonation will help students gain sought-after skills to fill the growing need for highly trained manufacturing workers

NOVI, Michigan, December 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Cimatron Technologies Inc., a subsidiary of Cimatron Limited , is donating software valued at over $1.7 million to Southeastern Community College (SCC) in Iowa. The CimatronE [http://www.cimatron.com/main/homepage.aspx?folderID=5&lang=en ] software-a CAD/CAM solution for mold, tool and die makers as well as manufacturers of discrete parts-will be used to provide training for students in design and advanced manufacturing.

Donation Helps Meet the Talent Needs of Manufacturers

It is one of the largest donations to SCC and will provide the foundation for training students from high school through college to meet the increasing demand for manufacturing expertise by companies in Iowa. The region is home to such industries as energy, pharmaceutical, food processing, and plastics. The donation was facilitated by the Lee County Economic Development Group, a private/public partnership to foster development and employment in the county.

Cimatron Sees Iowa as a Key Manufacturing Location

"This donation, along with another donation to North Iowa Area Community College last year, underscores the importance Cimatron places on growing the manufacturing industry in Iowa and throughout North America," said Bill Gibbs, Cimatron North America President. "The demand for skilled CAD/CAM workers is the number one challenge that comes up in every conversation we have with customers as well as in a survey of toolmakers and manufacturers [http://www.cimatron.com/NA/pressreleases.aspx?FolderID=912&docID=23372&lang=en ] we conducted last year."

Training on CimatronE software for mold, die making, and manufacturing will be part of the curriculum for Associate of Applied Science in Computer Assisted Drafting and Advanced Manufacturing degrees. "This will elevate the status of SCC among prospective students and employers as a college on the cutting edge of CAD/CAM," said Michael Ash, the president of SCC.

The State of Iowa Invests in Manufacturing

"In Iowa, manufacturing is big business. In fact, the percentage of the state's GDP derived from manufacturing has consistently ranked in the top 10 in the country," said Debi Durham, the director of the Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA). "The advanced manufacturing sector is so strong in Iowa because the public and private sectors work together to ensure conditions are favorable for growth. Keeping Iowa's community colleges equipped with leading edge technology is an essential part of training the next generation of highly skilled workers who are sought by Iowa's manufacturers to support future growth."

ISG: Demand for Specialists Pushes Outsourcing Volume HigherISG Momentum(R) Report Finds Contract Counts Rising More than Total Spending Across Service Lines as Clients Split Scope and Engage Multiple Service Providers

STAMFORD, Conn., Dec. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Buyers of IT and business process outsourcing services increasingly are splitting the work among specialist providers, resulting in historically high levels of contracting activity and changes in the nature of outsourcing arrangements, according to research from Information Services Group (ISG) , a leading technology insights, market intelligence and advisory services company.

The latest Momentum(R) Market Trends & Insights Report(R) from ISG, which examines trends in eight leading information technology outsourcing (ITO) and business process outsourcing (BPO) service lines, shows enterprise clients eschewing the large, bundled service agreements of the past in favor of smaller, shorter engagements with more specialized service providers.

Clients also have become notably more open to new outsourcing models (e.g., with different onshore/offshore ratios or hybrid organizations) and to new pricing structures, especially pricing models that offer elasticity.

"Clients are using outsourcing more strategically to support their larger business strategies," said ISG Chief Research Officer Paul Reynolds. "This has important competitive implications. Service providers need to be trusted advisors to their clients and be more proactive in suggesting new processes and technologies to improve the business. This will require deeper domain expertise, which many service providers are already developing through investment or acquisition. To remain competitive, it will no longer be enough to be the lowest-cost provider."

ISG observes changing attitudes toward outsourcing that are driving the changes in contracting activity. While cost savings is still the leading outsourcing driver, clients are increasingly using outsourcing to help them become more innovative and agile. Clients are more willing to work with service providers that may not be able to meet all their needs, but can deliver exceptional performance in a specific process area. These drivers are producing increased multi-sourcing for the ITO service lines (Application Development & Maintenance, Data Center, End User Computing and Managed Network Service) and a rise in industry-specific BPO.

As clients' use of multisourcing is growing, so is their appreciation for the need to coordinate activity among service providers. ISG notes increasing demand for service integration and management (SIAM) services, and accelerated development of new governance models. Clients are more willing to invest in these new methods and additional resources to improve outcomes, ISG finds.

In some service lines, particularly Managed Network Services and Data Center, clients are appointing a master integrator that is responsible for coordinating activity among different contractors and ensuring that service levels are not hurt by lack of cooperation or technical incompatibilities.

Niche service providers have been gaining market share in most service lines, although most client spending still goes to large, traditional multinationals. While the general trend is toward more specific, standalone contracts, bundled activity was up in some BPO service lines as clients upgraded their technology platforms as part of a business process makeover.

Enterprise demand for mobility, analytics and social media applications has been beneficial for service providers with strong application development capabilities. Standalone ADM contract activity rose sharply as clients used additional service providers to reduce the backlog of demand for new apps.

The 2014 Momentum(R) Market Trends & Insights Service Line Report takes an in-depth look at eight leading ITO and BPO service lines: Application Development & Maintenance (ADM), Managed Network Services (MNS), Data Center, End-User Computing (EUC), Human Resources Outsourcing (HRO), Contact Center Services (CSS), Procurement Services, and Finance & Accounting Services (F&A). It also provides high-level spending data on other BPO services, and for the first time, looks at the dynamics within the industry-specific BPO space.

This latest Momentum(R) report is part of a series of quarterly reports that focus on outsourcing activity by service line, vertical industry and geographic location.

ROSH HAAYIN, Israel, Dec. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Pointer Telocation Ltd. ("Pointer") - a leading developer, manufacturer and operator of Mobile Resource Management (MRM), announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a plan to spin off certain assets and liabilities of its wholly owned subsidiary, Shagrir Systems Ltd. ("Shagrir") into a new entity ("NewCo"). Thereafter Shagrir, with its remaining assets will be merged into Pointer.

As part of the spin-off process, Shagrir's current Road Side Assistance (RSA) and other related services shall be purchased by NewCo. Following the spin-off, Shagrir, with its remaining business consisting of Mobile Resource Management (MRM), will be merged into Pointer (the "Merger"). Once this process is complete, Pointer's business will be fully focused on its MRM activities, in line with its long-term strategy. Location-based services and fleet management for vehicle and assets tracking will be the core activity of Pointer's MRM business.

The merger is expected to become effective as of December 31, 2014. During 2015, Pointer intends, subject to the applicable legal requirements, to distribute the shares of NewCo to Pointer's shareholders as a dividend in kind (the "Distribution") and shall use its best efforts to register NewCo's shares for trade on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

Pointer shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol 'PNTR' after the Distribution is completed.

Pointer's Board of Directors has determined that the proposed spin-off and Distribution is in the best interests of Pointer's shareholders. Certain pro-forma information is provided in Exhibit A hereto for informational purposes. Pointer believes that spinning off the Transferred Business will provide several opportunities and benefits, including the following:

Market Recognition: Pointer management believes that Pointer's market valuation does not fully reflect the value inherent in Pointer's assets and properties. By listing for trading and distributing these assets to Pointer shareholders, management aims to unlock some of the unrecognized value of these assets and place it directly into the hands of Pointer shareholders.

Business Focus: Each business, Pointer (MRM) and NewCo (RSA), will be better able to focus its efforts on and allocate its resources towards its respective businesses.

David Mahlab, President and CEO of Pointer commented, "The purpose of the plan is to increase shareholder value by realizing some of the unlocked value inherent within Pointer as well as simplify the overall structure of the business. The Pointer corporate structure will become much simpler and our business will become focused on the fast growing MRM space, which will enable us to increase our growth rates and improve our profitability. Pointer's shareholders will also benefit from NewCo, a solid and profitable company, focused on the RSA space, which will be a standalone listed company. We are confident that this move creates significant value and is in the best interests of both companies."

The spin-off and Distribution do not require Pointer's shareholders' approval. Further details regarding the Distribution will be mailed to Pointer's shareholders prior to the Distribution. The consummation of the Distribution shall be subject to certain conditions that will be described in the information mailed to shareholders.

FDA Issues New Regulations for Vending IndustryFinalized rules will usher in new era for the $19 Billion Automated Retailing Market

CORONA, Calif., Dec. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AVT, Inc. (www.autoretail.com), a manufacturer of high performance automated retailing systems and technology-infused vending machines, announced that they have a deep portfolio of products and solutions that already meet the new requirements established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

As reported in Vending Times and other publications, the long-awaited calorie-disclosure rules for food and beverages sold through vending machines have been finalized by the FDA.

The vending machine rule requires operators who own or operate 20 or more vending machines to disclose calorie information for food sold from vending machines. Owners of vending machines must post calorie information for each item inside the machines on nearby placards, posters or on digital displays.

"We are seeing the ushering in of a new era of vending," said Shannon Illingworth, Founder and Chairman of AVT, Inc. "Consumers have demanded a change, and we have responded by providing new technologies that empower and inform."

AVT has developed proprietary software and a series of unique touchscreen interfaces that provide consumers with complete nutritional information, as well as the options to play games, read news, receive coupons and special offers, and enjoy free WiFi.

AVT's patent on wireless connectivity of vending machines will also play an important role in the phase-in of new, FDA-compliant systems. "The FDA regulation is specifically targeting owners of multiple machines," said James Winsor, CEO of AVT. "Our patented technologies enable owners and operators of vending machines to receive real-time information on all of their units, including sales reports, status updates, inventory alerts, and highly detailed and customizable data."

"Americans eat and drink about one-third of their calories away from home and people today expect clear information about the products they consume," said FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D. "Making calorie information available is an important step for public health that will help consumers make informed choices for themselves and their families."

To find out how AVT can help vending operators come into compliance, or for details on AVT's new line of FDA-compliant vending systems, please call (877) 424-3663, or visit: www.autoretail.com.
